- Which is true for cancer cells: 1) Cell death occurs after a determined number of cell divisions 2) Contact with other cells reduces chance of cell division 3) Cell division occurs in the presence of stop signals.arrow_forwardWhat are Kupffer cells?arrow_forwardThe two samples taken from the patient's tissues and viewed under the microscope, Sample A from Question 5 and Sample B from Question 9, were part of a diagnostic strategy to identify whether the issue was becoming cancerous. One sample was taken from the suspected cancerous tissue while the other sample was taken from the presumed nearby non-cancerous tissue. Based on your understanding, which of the two samples likely came from the suspected cancerous site on the tissue? Provide two well-explained reasons, with specific details, why you believe that sample is cancerous. Your answer should be based on the information you calculated in this activity and from our material described in our lectures and notes. I have uplode sample A for question 5 and that I marked the question and sample A and the other picture is sample B for question 9. All informations are included in my question.arrow_forward
- Biopsies from aggressive cancers often have cells that contain several nuclei per cell when viewed through a microscope. Which scenario could explain how such a multinucleated cell might have come to be? (a) The cell underwent repeated mitosis with simultaneous cytokinesis. (b) The cell had multiple S phases before it entered mitosis. (c) The cell underwent repeated mitosis, but cytokinesis did not occur. (d) The cell underwent repeated cytokinesis but no mitosis. (e) The cell actually went through meiosis and not mitosis.arrow_forwardWhy is cell furrowing important in cell division? If cytokinesis did not occur, what would be the end result?arrow_forwardPart || – An Unexpected Visitor After Ivy was finished meeting with Dr. Alvarez, she didn't feel like going back to her dorm room where her room- mates were waiting to hear from her. She decided to process her diagnosis at the local coffee shop. Curling up in an oversized chair with a warm cookie and peppermint hot cocoa with whipped cream always made her feel better. Sitting alone would give her time to think. How could something so important go so wrong in her cells? How did cells get or make the mitochondria anyway? Obviously, cells could survive without mitochondria if they had to, so why had mitochondria evolved in the first place? Just then, Ali, a fellow student in her biology class who made it a point to sit near her each class, walked over to strike up a conversation. "Hi Ivy! Whať's up?" Trying to avoid conversation, Ivy simply shrugged and mumbled, “Not much." Ali gave her a big smile and said "I've noticed that you take good notes in bio, would you want to study together...…arrow_forward
- There are certain cells that are multinucleated (having more than one nucleus). Which of the following is a possible explanation for this occurrence? A) The cell underwent repeated cytokinesis but no mitosis. B) The cell underwent repeated mitosis with simultaneous cytokinesis. C) The cell underwent repeated mitosis, but cytokinesis did not occur. D) The cell had multiple S phases before it entered mitosis.arrow_forwardWhy does ionizing radiation stop cell division?arrow_forwardInside the mouth, cheek cells are joined together in a sheet.

- Which cell is highlighted? 300arrow_forwardYou have been asked to do a strucutural study to understand how increasing cell surface area affects cell size, cell shape and functions. What cell type would help you most efficiently observe the effects of increasing surface area? Choices: A. Monocytes from the blood serum. Monocytes are largely roughly spherical cells. B. Red Blood cells from the bone marrow. The shape of Red blood cells is a biconcave disk and looks like a donut. C. Stem cells from skin. In this case assume a skin stem cell is flat and plate like. D. Microvilli covered cells from the intestines. Microvilli are tiny hair like protrusions in the plasma membrane of intestinal cells that increase the absorption of nutrients in the intestines.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between apoptosis and necrosis?
